Here, we’d like to explain the difference between cannabis (or marijuana) and hemp (or industrial hemp).
are two different varieties of Cannabis sativa plant that belongs to the Cannabaceae family.
Although cannabis and industrial hemp both derive from the species Cannabis sativa, they are distinct strains with unique phytochemical compositions and uses. Hemp has lower concentrations of the psychoactive component THC and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates its psychoactive effects.
Marijuana (herbal cannabis), is a psychoactive drug from the female Cannabis plant that consists of the dried flowers and subtending leaves and stems. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), including at least 65 other cannabinoids. is the most widely consumed form, containing 3% to 20% THC, with reports of up-to 33% THC. This is the stock material from which all other preparations are derived.
Does hemp CBD oil get you high?
The short answer to the question, “Can hemp CBD oil get you high?” is no, it can’t.
So, while THC is found in high quantities in marijuana and low quantities in hemp, the reverse is true for CBD. The CBD in CBD oil is most often extracted from hemp as opposed to marijuana since it is naturally higher in CBD and lower in THC.
